Thoughts about Hillary Clinton

What do you think about Hillary Clinton? Do you think she will get over losing the democratic presidential nomination?

In the beginning, I was torn between Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton. Then Mrs. Clinton began to show her true colors and it made my choice much easier. However, with that being said, I do believe an Obama/Clinton ticket would be a winning ticket. Hopefully society and the Democratic party has humbled her. And as a VP, Mrs. Clinton would have to have a very defined political role which she would have to accept and respect.

While in the beginning, I thought an Obama/Clinton ticket would have been wonderful, now I'm not so sure. She's a sore looser! With her "there's no way I can loose" attitude. She showed her true colors in her campaign speech Tuesday by never acknowledging Mr. Obama as the winner. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Clinton were depending on the black vote to go their way. When it didn't, you saw their reaction. She started splitting the party, refusing to concede. She's still refusing until Saturday! Why? Mr. Obama would not be able to trust her. They would never be able to agree on anything, because she would still not acknowledge the fact that HE is the President and not HER. She and Bill would always try to supercede him and his decisions. That's alot of stress on top of trying to lift a nation back on its feet. And also, putting Mrs. Clinton in the White House again, would also bring Mr. Bill, and I don't think the people are ready to go through all that mess again! He was a great President, but when it came to his personal character, he didn't make some of the best decisions. Which in turn, put a bad taste in some of the Democratic peoples mouth. I think he should look elsewhere for a VP. I'm sure he'll find a worthy running mate. And they don't have to be a "Clinton".

I would not trust Hillary Clinton to be vice-president. I was for her at first to be on Obama's ticket, but, after the public comments and inuendos that she has made, I am against it. Not only did she "hint" at a possible assination attempt or something just as horrible on Obama, but she continually predicted his downfall because, like most of white America, she believed that the USA is not ready for an African-American man to be president. If chosen as vice-president, Hillary would only try to undermind and run over Obama at every chance she can create. Kudos to Barak Obama for his nominational victory and historical first! 2008 is going to bring a lot of unusual changes and this is one of the best!

I am a woman and i don't think so; there has been so much wrong doing in the elections that i think Hillary is like a dog with a bone; she was determine that no wrong doing was going to befall her like it did with Al Gore and the Bush brothers when they did the miss counting.

Hillary would not be a good candidate to work with Obama because she is hostile and like any good team player, Obama does not need that kind of attitude on his team.

Hillary Clinton has lost my respect! After Obama clearly won the nomination she still didn't concede or congratulate him. She made a lame speech about not making any decisions and asking people to email her what to do. Who in there right mind would support a person that can't make a simple decision to finally give up. She lied about dominating the popular vote and she made very horrific comments about staying in the race because Robert Kennedy got assasinated in June! She is evil! I think she is trying to force her way in to the VP position, but Obama doesn't need her and I hope that all of these Hillary supporters wise up to her egotistical plots that are clearly all about her and not about bring the people of this country together!!!

I've always liked Obama from the very beginning. Hillary has always appeared to me as a very cold person. Given that, she and Bill showed their true colors in this campaign. While Obama was a gentleman during the whole time, Hillary lost her composure and became desparate. Now what kind of president would she'd have made? I wouldn't want her to be the vice president. Hil and Bil would be like a Cheney, trying to run the show.

Regarding Hilary Clinton and her abhorrent and unsophisticated behavior during her campaigning and after her loss of the Democratic nomination, I believe that she is holding out for one of two things, which is why she has yet to concede her position. She either wants to be offered the opportunity to be House Majority Leader or she wants to be asked by Barack Obama to be his running mate (VP) so that she can reject his offer, thereby further disgracing herself by being a crass, self-depricating, manipulative, sore loser. She will try again to embarrass Mr. Obama, one last time before pursuing her other political interests, in another ditch-effort attempt to hurt his chances of being President of the United States. However, the ruse is over. We have seen through her menagerie of lies and deceit. And try as she might to further defame "President Obama", it is said that only God knows what lies in the hearts of men (and women). But now, obviously by her most recent display of childish behavior, we, the American public, now know, too...

I think she will definitely get over this and i think she will run again... I would like to see both of these two amazing people on the ticket, with Obama names appearing first of course, i think thogether they can make even more diffence to this troubled but great country! She did a great job and i was almost ready to vote for her but Obama won me over with a number of his speeches. I think change will happen if we all vote for Obama '08'!!

Senator Clinton is a strong and determined woman who is too proud to admit defeat. In the beginning, I was leaning towards Clinton but I am ready for change. Although Clinton said she could bring it, she brought out all of the mud slinging that other politicians have done in the past. I don't want Obama to pick her as a running mate because I don't trust either of the Clinton's after the way they ran their campaign.

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS ON HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON...SHE FOUGHT THE GOOD RACE. HILLARY WAS MY CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT TO BEGIN WITH. I KNOW PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR CHANGE, AND OBAMA AND HILLARY ARE EXACTLY WHAT CHANGE WAS BRINGING. TRUE I AM A BLACK WOMAN, I JUST DON'T SEE BLACKS IN A HIGH POSITION BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THEIR AUTHORITY EFFECTIVELY. THEY SELL YOU A DREAM AND IT DOESN'T COME OUT RIGHT. IT MAY THIS TIME. I CAN SEE HILLARY AS VICE PRESIDENT FOR US TO HAVE AN EFFECTIVE IMPACT ON THE SCREW UPS BUSH HAS DONE WHILE IN OFFICE. IN ALL ACTUALITY, SHE IS STILL THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THE JOB; SHE KNOWS POLITICS HERSELF AS WELL AS THROUGH HER HUSBAND'S TIME IN THE WHITE HOUSE. WITH EITHER SHE OR OBAMA IN OFFICE, WE ARE IN A BETTER POSITION TO GET THE U.S. BACK IN ORDER. BUT SHE IS STILL #1 IN MY BOOK. HATS OFF TO HILLARY FOR A HELLUVA RACE!!!!!

Hillary has made comments with racist undertones and insinuated that Sen. Obama's campaign reminds her of Bobby Kennedy's campaign, back in the day, giving racists idiots throughout the country ideas.

Senator Obama has made "change" the centerpiece of his campaign. With Hillary as vice presidental canidate, this isn't change, it's insanity. I hope and pray that he doesn't let Bob Johnson (sellout) and others with like minds sway him.

As so many other people were, I was for Hillary Clinton because I admired Bill Clinton when he was President, although he had his indiscretions, and thought the country would be better off having him somewhere back in the White House. Plus, I had no idea who Barack Obama was.

At the beginning, all the campaigning was geared towards politics but then everything shifted to straight out demeaning Senator Obama. It was all him not having enough experience to run the country or that infamous statement, "what would happen if the phone rang at 3:00 a.m." Well, we have a president in office now that had "experience" in Texas, but still didn't/doesn't know how to run a country or react when the country was in danger...meaning 9/11 when he sat in classroom in Florida looking through a children's book and not doing something to protect us!

I prayed that Senator Obama would be the better person when the mud slinging started and stick to the facts at hand...what he would/is going to do for this country.

I don't think that having Hillary on the ticket in the VP position would be a good idea due to her possibly trying to upstage Senator Obama and trying to make the country believe they made a mistake by electing him as President. Also, if Bush and Rice can congratulate Obama on his victory, why it is she can't to the same and get on with her life?

Another thing people fail to realize is although Senator Obama is a man of color, his mother was Caucasian and he was raised by his maternal grandparents. Therefore, enough said.
